    From this point, you can leave the Go John Trail and take the Clay Mine Trail, named after the mine it passes by. In this mine, only clay was found despite being excavated in hopes of finding gold, and a woman named Leila P. Irish decided to bottle the clay from this mine and sell it as a cure-all elixir.
    It's a multi-use trail, commonly frequented by hikers, runners, and horse riders.
